Rep. Click Champions Regional Projects, Votes in Support of Capital Budget Bill

State Representative Gary Click (R-Vickery) today voted in support of Ohio's Capital Budget bill, a two-year capital improvements budget for state and community projects throughout the state totaling nearly $4 billion.

The bill provides appropriations for state infrastructure needs, including renovations to state offices, new construction for mental health facilities, land acquisition, and equipment. The plan also includes just over $200 million for community projects, which are projects that come from outside of state agencies and have a benefit or nexus to the state.

All 88 counties will receive funding for community projects.

Rep. Click helped secure investments for the following community projects in District 88:

Sandusky County:

$530,000 for the Sandusky County Fairgrounds Infrastructure
$500,000 for the Gibsonburg Flood Mitigation Project
$125,000 to make improvements to Birchard Park
$110,000 for the Hayes Presidential Library Project
$70,000 for the Oakwood Cemetery Infrastructure Preservation Project
$63,000 to renovate the Historic One Room Chippewa School

Seneca County:

$160,000 for the Ritz Theatre
$100,000 to pave the Attica Waterfront Walking Path
$60,000 to renovate the Meadowbrook Park Historic Ballroom
$50,000 to restore the Fostoria Historic Cemetery

"I am grateful to be able to successfully advocate for Seneca and Sandusky Counties in the capital budget," said Click. "Folks in the 88th district deserve a representative who can bring their tax dollars back home."

Through this bill, Ohio House Republicans prioritized investing in Ohio's future by expanding access to education and healthcare through new facilities or upgrades to existing ones, improving parks and roadways to better connect communities, and strengthening local facilities across the state by providing necessary funding for enhancements.

This bill now heads to the Governor for consideration.
